For some people, I think that would be considered a failure at worst and a push at best.

I think people think we're going to draft two guys and they're going to play all the time - that's just not going to happen unless they play a position like RT.
Nobody ever has a terribly realistic expectation of draft picks.

2nd rounders become starters in the first 3 years of their deal something like 1/2 the time leaguewide. And it goes downhill fast from there.

This idea that you're supposed to draft Pro Bowlers with every 1st rounder, long-term starters with every 2nd rounder and immediate rotational contributors with every 3rd rounder is just....unfair.

It's not the way it works. It never has been. The draft just isn't that precise.
